Episode Description
Is your negative mindset affecting your happiness? Do you ever wish you could just unplug, get away, and push the reset button? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, Dr. Merle has a show for you. Kevin Bailey is a health and wellness coach, a life coach, motivational speaker, and author. Kevin is very passionate about helping people transform their lives by taking control of their thoughts, turning negativity into positivity, and realizing that being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely. Our second guest, Jacqui Phillips, is an inspirational speaker who encourages people to reset their lives to find and restore balance. Jacqui will discuss with Dr. Merle the importance of taking time during the summer to have fun and recharge, and what to do if you just can’t get away.

More than 40 percent of people in their 40s and 50s have at least one living parent, and a child under the age of 21 for whom they are providing care and assistance. Most likely there is also a job, a house to run, groceries to buy and meals to get on the table. How can you cope with the massive demand on your time for love, attention, and decision-making skills?
We know it’s not easy but Caught Between Generations is here to help. We talk all things multi-generational, and provide practical tips you can use right now and in the long term to make your life less stressful.
Our program is a one-stop shop for information and resources for caregivers of multiple generations.
